I have a suggestion, could you put the numbers you quote on screen when you read them out? I, personally, can barely tell what the numbers are and can't compare them easily too. It common on other short info channels and would make the videos much better to watch for people who have auditory processing issues. Great video as always, I saw a comment asking for a video about cars sizes increasing in general. I'd also like to see that one.
Having seen one up close now, yeah, it's ugly as hell, is highly space inefficient yet gigantic, and dangerous for everyone around it. But I also noticed how minuscule the trunk looks from the outside. The trunks on any of my old sedans looked more spacious.
Well done, I think I wouldn’t have managed it, I would have taken the anti-Musk tangent and lost the viewers somewhere in my rant. - - - I think there should be a discussion to be done on the overall car sizes evolution. Last year my family had to buy a new car. 20 years ago when we purchased a van-like city car that could be used also for the business it was the tallest of the parking lot. Now there are so many big SUVs that you can not even see that. Also the car that now replaced it bearly fits trough the garage door. And I wonder what does it mean in term of petrol, gas consumption etc. Up to at least 10 years ago in my city I can list at least 5 gas stations closed, now where I live are building a tram line and the building site went across two gas stations and I was happy to see them gone until I realized that they started building them back with twice the number of pomps and some other stations that were abandoned for more than a decade were reopened. Is it really possible that we are actually consuming more fuel?
I could look into it in the future, but for next week, I'm dropping a video on the rise of private train operators, especially here in the Czech Republic
Great video. About the average salary and cost of the truck in the US vs the EU. Using just the base figures is misleading as taxation is different. The cost of the truck is without sales tax (the percentage varies between states with Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon with no sales tax) ans salaries might be higher but they do not include services that are included in Europe, like healthcare, education, social benefits etc and together with the far lower prices in Europe for many other essential services and commodities like food, communication, transport, housing etc EU citizens end up with more funds available to them, especially above certain age and for families (young single people can end up a bit better, by by a low margin).
I would argue that Skoda Karoq as you showed while talking about large suvs is not a great choice. Karoq is still more of a compact SUV even for our Czech market and its not built on a rigid frame as the old school SUVs like Land Cruiser. Cars like Karoq are still quite fine, they are built as normal cars, they just sit a bit higher, they are definitely not way too big for our roads and they pass the standards of EU safety. Yes, its probably better for a pedestrian to be hit by Octavia than Karoq, but I wouldnt see this as a major problem. The unnecessarily huge pick ups, huge SUVs with grills higher than a basketall player are the problem.
Yeah, looking back at it.. I admit that Karoq wasn't the best choice, to be honest still, I think the point in the video stands, oversized SUVs and pickups are a scourge of modern roads
I don’t wanna be mean or anything but it’s “a European perspective”, as Europe makes a “y” sound when read. I think a better title would help the algorithm or will just increase clicks. Otherwise great video
EU driver's licences are restricted by maximum authorized mass of 3500kg. So cybertruck entering the EU involves proving that it is not built to carry more than 400kg of people and cargo. Unfortunately, the limit is being raised to 4250kg for EVs due to lobbying of car manufacturers.
For the new electric cars I love new Dacia, it has small capacity of batteries, it's small, it is Dacia, and you can drive it to big shopping districts on surroudings of towns and back or on small trip, amazing to cities But I'm suprised I dont see that often as this shit on US roads In God we trust probably
It's heavy because it has batteries. Cybertruck will get licensed in the EU before 2025. Maybe in neutered form but licensed. EU needs Musk than the other way around.
-It won't be approved. -Europe does not need Musk. -Tesla cannot afford to make a special version, especially not in their current finance state. -It is also a failing in the US. After all the hype they've managed to sell 3,878 in half a year (the recall forced them to publish the number of cars sold). -It's not just batteries. the Ford F150 EV weighs 150 kg less.
@@AL5520 minor mods will be satisfy the EU. Tesla is badly needed for Europe otherwise you will get killed by the cheap Chinese EVs. The German EVs are competitively priced. Watch the first 15 min of Habeck on Markus Lanz on April 30. Habeck admits that German producers moved into luxury segment that is unaffordable and once the subsidies evaporated sales collapsed over the weekend while FR UK EV sales continue at low end of the market. Tesla is doing just fine. They have Chinese self driving license and Germany is so incompetent they will force EU to accept the Cybertruck.
No, please no, it can't be legal to drive these in EU.
So far, it isn't, not gonna lie, I hope it stays that way
I was looking forward to this video and it was even better than expected. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'm glad that I delivered!

Sure, I could absolutely do that, thanks for the suggestions!
The bloopers are always legendary
misspeaking after recording for over an hour is frustrating, to say the least
1:30 how convinent!
cipre truke already looks like a rusted steel coffin!
oh yeah😂😂😂
I would never buy a Tesla to start with, for a simple reason - Elon Musk!
Agreed, to be honest
for me, it's Musk, their less than stellar build quality, the fact I hate driving (which applies to all cars)
@@TheTramly Get your license.

Yeah, it looks tiny!
I bet the classic Czech Škoda Octavia could fit more shit inside

I see those giant Ford trucks pretty often in last few years.
Yeah I've been seeing them a lot as well, shit sucks
Great video.

Fuel that will take you 500 km weights about 35 kilograms, battery that will take you the same distance weights about 450-600 kg.
@@MrToradragon Your point being? But yes, we should instead have stricter pedestrian and other-vehicle safety requirements.

No, YOU need Musk it seems. The rest of us don't need his overhyped poorly built cars.
